PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't II tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER Is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As suchit deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we cN-
poet to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown ola Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, z. :. of Green's
Bashaw; Leondas, reputed g :. of Biggart ;
Rather, ana many others.
This is pre.cmincntly the kind of informa.
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to he
without this paper 1t is the American gentle
mans paper tor the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trnc-
ing OF some of these pcdigrccs seems very
similar to IL romance, in which one not

GROWING MARKETABLE HORSES.

1t NAV be said of horses as of wheat.
that any and all grades are marketable,
but the farmer who has from year to
year grown wheat, knows very well that
when he succeeds in gettinga crop that
grades No. |, he barely gets day wages
after counting all contingent expenses.
This being so, if his crop turns out to be
of low grade there is no escaping loss up
on it because in no particular is it grown
for less money per bushel than it costs
to grow the best. The same rule holds
good in the dairy, as shown by the fact
that the butter or cheese from Il given
herd of cows will be tirst-clasS if made
by one party. while in the hands of an
other the lowest grade only is produced.
Horses, like wheat and butter, take
rank in market according to their quail
ty, and the good ones that sell for high
figures feed in the same pasture and eat the
same quality of oats and hay as the veriest
plug. All horses that can do duty may
be said to be marketable. but in the sense
that rejected wheat is marketable, only at
the lowest figures, though all the process
ses through which the low grade stock
is carried is as expensive in the case of
the poor in quality as in the case of the
best, save and except the influence of the
seed used, and this of course cuts an i'm
portant figure. But, says one, to prod
uce Il good quality of grain of any kind
you must have good quality of seed as
Il foundations; and applying thi, tC
horses the start is more expensive if &
man would have stock marketable al
good figures than though he grew animal.
of lower grade. This, in measure. i,
true. yet men who own fairly good brood
mares, for the purpose of saving the pal
try sum of ten or fifteen dollars in the
service of sire, will continually real
horses for which they get only low
prices. The difference that grows out OF
the service of a good sire. as compared
to one of low grade. not infrequently
makes Il difference of one-third in the sci
ling value of mature horse. and it i,
fair to place it higher than this in many

MIDDLETOwN SPRINGS. W.T.,
Nov Il, 1885.
Editor Register Yours of Oct. 30 was
duly received, but have taken good
deal of time to get the information you
desired. As regards this John or Jack
Williams, he was born in Middletown.
VT, or came here when child. first
became acquainted with him in 1881 and
afterwards was very familiar with him.
He was dealer in first-claSS horses. which
he took to Hartford, Ct. New York. Bal
timorc and Philadelphia and the last of
his life spent the most of the time in
market. For 30 years his family lived
in this town. He died in Baltimore, Md,
about % years since. Williams never
owned the Harris Horse, but had the con-
troll of him one season. As near as |
can get at the time it was in 1917.
You ask me to give you all the facts
about the Harris Horse. TO begin at the
beginning, he was foalcd in 1922 the pro-
perty of Isaac Munson of Wallingford.
Vt. About 1876 or % Samuel Edgerton
of Walingford bought him and owned
him till about 1888. Then Edgerton sold
him to Hiram or James Eddy. | think
he lived in Huntington. Vt. 1t is nv
impression that "A man by the name of
Harrington may have had an interest
in the horse at some time with Ed
dy. For this reason the horse came bacl,
to Middletown in the care of Joseph Rem
ington in 1897. Then, as | said before
the Harris Horse came back to Middle
town in the care of Jack Williams, il
1871, only one season. \ man by tn,

the horse, a. Williams was in marke

HORSES OF THE OLDEN TIME.
DEFY OF AlGlERS.

From American Turf Register Dec, 1882
NJ. Editor On the cover of the last
(November) number of your Turf Register
| find remark concerning a horse called
Dey of Algiers, and said by "A Subscrib
err to be 1.-THE horse sent to Thomas JEFF
ferson. President, by the Bey of Tunis."
Now have paper before me, purporting
to be an account of a horse called Dey of
Algeirs, who stood as covering horse,
in Prince Georges county in the season
of 1903, at Mount Air, near Piscataway,
and advertised by IA Mr.. Edward Edelin,,
i'll the following manner:
"Dey is of full stature for his race. lie
measures exactly fourteen hands, two
inches and Il half. His color is nearly
white, with a few brown spots dashed
over his neck and shoulders. In figure
and bone it is believed he will stand the
test of the best Judgment; he is only eight
years old the coming spring. He is of
fine and commanding presence, attractive
carriage and remarkably vigorous and
active. He will be let to mares at forty
dollars per mare and one dollar to the
groom
The paper before me (and on its authen-
ITCHY think can rely further states
his history TO be as follows:
This beautiful animal was brought
from Arabia, in the year 1893, at four
years old. by the late Grand Bailiff Fromm
Ia, int. ia Ii
purchased at the sale of the bailfi-s stud,
after his dcccaSe. ut Fehebillen, in the
year 1899, by Lieutenant General Fred
erick Baron of Diemar, by whom he was
sent to Hamburger to COL Swami. whence
he was by that gentleman shipped to
America; and toattest which and to prove
him to be genuine Arabian horse, orig
inal certificates are in my possession"
Can this be the same horse referred to
by "A Subscriber: If so. he must labor
under an error as to the history of the
horse. or else the papers in my possession
are false, which can hardly be the case.
If neither be wrong, then there must have
been two horses of the same name, both
Arabians. imported about the same time
into America: and this is improbable.
With this much have done, only asking
in your Register for this notice of Dey,
if you think it will be of any use, or
gratifying to any one who may own a
descendant of his. He was surely well
thought of at that day from the high
pricp at which he stood and the great
encouragement he is said to have received,
at least in the lower counties of MARYLAND.
